What Does a Maryland Divorce Lawyer Do?

A Maryland divorce lawyer provides legal guidance and representation for individuals who are ending a marriage under Maryland law. Divorce cases often involve more than simply filing paperwork with the court. They frequently include complicated issues such as child custody, child support, spousal support (alimony), and the division of marital assets.

An experienced divorce attorney helps clients understand their legal rights and responsibilities while navigating the legal process from start to finish. This includes preparing legal documents, negotiating settlement agreements, and representing clients in court when necessary. In many cases, a lawyer also helps clients explore alternative dispute resolution options such as mediation, which may allow certain issues to be resolved without lengthy litigation.

Because divorce can have long-term financial and personal consequences, having a knowledgeable attorney ensures that important matters such as property division, retirement accounts, and parenting arrangements are addressed carefully and in accordance with Maryland law.

Frequently Asked Questions About Divorce in Maryland

How long does a divorce take in Maryland?

The timeline varies depending on the complexity of the case. Uncontested divorces may be resolved within several months, while contested divorces involving custody or property disputes can take significantly longer.

Is Maryland a 50/50 divorce state?

Maryland follows the principle of equitable distribution, which means marital property is divided fairly but not necessarily equally between spouses.

Do I need a lawyer for a divorce in Maryland?

While it is possible to file for divorce without legal representation, working with an experienced attorney can help ensure that your legal rights and financial interests are protected throughout the process.

Can child support be modified in Maryland?

Yes. Child support orders may be modified if there is a significant change in circumstances, such as changes in income, custody arrangements, or the child’s financial needs.

client Testimonials

I was involved in litigation with a neighbor

I was involved in litigation with a neighbor which had become quite acrimonious. Being a lawyer myself, I handled the initial pleadings, however, as the case dragged on, it became apparent that it would be more appropriate for me to obtain counsel. Of course, having practiced law for 37+ years, I had come in contact with top attorneys throughout Maryland. However, after comparing my options, there was only one choice: Stuart Grozbean. Stuart knew the judge, and, more importantly, the judge knew and respected Stuart. One of the judge’s first comments at the hearing was to express how pleased she was that Mr. Grozbean had entered his appearance. Using his creativity and his mastery of the relevant law, Stuart was able to break the impasse which had developed, and ultimately obtained an outcome that I am 100% pleased with. I highly recommend Stuart Grozbean to anyone in need of a first-rate attorney. Stuart Grozbean is the attorney other attorneys turn to in their time of need.

Stu was everything I could’ve hoped for in a divorce lawyer.

Stuart was everything I could’ve hoped for in a divorce lawyer. He was responsive, straightforward, and aggressive when it mattered most. He always gave me honest advice and kept my best interests in mind. I appreciated how he made sure I got what I deserved without risking what I already had. I’d recommend Stu to anyone who needs a true advocate in the court system.

I was immediately connected with Stuart Grozbean

When I needed a lawyer, I called nearly a dozen firms. Half told me they couldn’t speak with me for 4–6 weeks, and the other half sent me to voicemail, eventually with the same timeline. Then I called Belli, Weil & Grozbean, P.C..

I was immediately connected with Stuart Grozbean, who took the time to listen, understand my situation, and guide me on what to do next. From day one, I never once had trouble reaching him. His commitment to my case was clear at every step.

Stuart kept me updated in real time—whether it was morning or night, weekdays, weekends, or even while he was on vacation. His responsiveness and dedication gave me the peace of mind I desperately needed.

He is a highly skilled and effective negotiator, and there were many moments throughout this process when I was genuinely grateful he was the one representing me. Stuart and his entire team are professional, knowledgeable, and exceptional at what they do.

If you’re in a situation where you need strong legal representation, I highly recommend Stuart and his team. They made an incredibly difficult time so much more manageable, and I couldn’t have asked for a better advocate.

Stuart Grozbean and the entire BWG family are top notch!

Stuart Grozbean and the entire BWG family are top notch! I had hired Stu at the beginning of my divorce and custody battle, in 2010. (see previous review) This most recent review in 2025 speaks to his commitment to integrity and cultivating a relationship that continues almost 15 years later!

When my divorce and custody hearings were over, Stu told me if he could ever assist me with anything to give him a call. At the time, I thought of this comment as more of a “call me when you have more business” gesture. Common practice, right?!

Wrong! Mr. Grozbean meant every word of what he said, in the most genuine way possible!

Over the last 15 years I have called on Stuart for advice numerous times. He has always taken my calls, brainstormed with me, given me recommendations and references and taken a genuine interest in me and my children’s lives; even calling on occasion to just check in and say hello! Stu has never charged me for his time, (sometimes more than a billable amount) and always wished me good luck in my legal endeavors.

Recently, in April of 2025, I had an issue with the Child Support Guidelines and how they were being reported. Not able to get anywhere with the local government office and being bullied into signing inaccurate documents, I called Stu!

Mr. Grozbean immediately returned my call and worked very diligently to procure the necessary documents to make adjustments that should be used for calculations. Stu worked with me to present the documentation to the county and when he saw that I was still getting incorrect information, he knew just who to call.

Stuart has a wealth of resources at his disposal and knows his way around the courthouse! He had the appropriate support documented and entered into the support file. He was also able to have the subpoena to be delivered and court dates that had been set removed.

Mr. Grozbean, my divorce attorney from 15 years ago, did not charge me for his efforts, time, experience and connections! This is a true testament to his statement of if you ever need anything, give me a call! Stu is a stand-up attorney and can be taken at word! I am thankful that I hired him in 2010 and still thankful for him and his friendship in 2025!

I highly recommend Stuart Grozbean and the BW&G firm. You can’t find a better attorney out there! I am happy to have Stu in my circle!

I highly recommend him and his firm for any legal needs.

Highly recommend

Never thought I would be in this situation after years of peaceful coexistence. Stuart was the light at the end of a long sewer. Results were much better than I expected. Much better than he or other lawyer expected as well.

Working with Stuart Grozbean and his team

Working with Stu Grozbean and his team, Joe, and Charlotte was such a positive experience while going through a painful time in my life a divorce.
The team was with me during the entire process. Stu and his team answered all my calls and questions immediately making me feel like I was their only client. The entire team is intelligent, strategic, compassionate yet aggressive. Stu was on vacation during my last hearing and to my surprise Stuart was there. My anxiety always eased when I saw the two of them. I can’t say enough or thank them enough for everything they have done for me. I am forever grateful to this team because of Stu’s forty-plus years’ experience, expertise, intelligence, strategic mind, and respect in the law community I can live happily ever after divorce. This team made my ending a beautiful beginning.

I had the pleasure of working with Stuart Grozbean

I had the pleasure of working with Stuart Grozbean. Stu was a true gem. He would make himself available at all hours, he was completely supportive of my position, understood the stressors, exhibited wonderful listening and analytical skills, and made me feel heard and understood. It was not uncommon to hear from him early in the morning or late in the evening with updates on what was happening. I always felt included and consulted at every step along the process.

Just as importantly, he possesses a brilliant legal mind, and a professional network of colleagues and experts that he brought to bear on my case. It became clear very quickly how well respected he is within the legal circles, how effective he is as a negotiator, and how easily he maneuvers in very complex cases. His lack of egocentricity is also a very noticeable and welcomed trait! I highly recommend Stu for any issues where his areas of legal expertise would be needed. I will never be able to thank him enough!

I know he is based in MD

I needed an aggressive lawyer for some ex-wife drama…and holy crap did Stuart Grozbean deliver!

I know he is based in MD, so I’m not sure if he practices in VA or not.

But they could probably give you a good referral for someone in VA.
